BMW recalls, complaints, and safety ratings

Across 29 BMW models and 354 model years (2000–2027), matched NHTSA records on this site add up to 1,134 recalls and 12,345 complaints (recall file dated Oct 23, 2026; complaint file dated Oct 23, 2026). A campaign that covers more than one model year is counted on each of those pages, so the recall total is not a count of distinct campaigns. EPA combined mpg for non-electric configurations in the file dated Sep 29, 2026 runs from 13–39 mpg.
